Thermal Cycling Impact on Supercapacitor Performance and Leakage Current under Constant Voltage Test

In this paper, we present a comparative study that focus on Supercapacitor (SC) thermal cycling and calendar ageing under constant voltage tests. The impacts of cycling temperature on SC performance and degradation rate are studied. Obtained results from thermal cycling ageing test are compared with those coming from simple calendar ageing test at constant voltage and constant temperature. The ...

SSC01-VIII-6 A Highly Modular Scientific Nanosatellite: TEST

A powerfully instrumented, reliable, low-cost 3-axis stabilized nanosatellite is in final design using novel technologies. The Thunderstorm Effects in Space: Technology (TEST) nanosatellite implements a new, highly modular satellite bus structure and common electrical interface that is conducive to satellite modeling, development, testing, and integration flow. TEST is a low-cost ($0.1 – 0.2 M)...

An Experimental Investigation on Fracture Analysis of Polymer Matrix Composite under Different Thermal Cycling Conditions

Fracture analysis of glass/epoxy composites under different thermal cycling conditions is considered. Temperature difference, stacking sequence, fiber volume fraction and number of thermal cycles are selected as the experimental design factors. The Taguchi method is implemented to design of the experiment and an apparatus is developed for automatic thermal cycling tests. The tensile tests are d...

Effects of thermal cycling on aluminum metallization of power diodes

Thermal contact conductance and its dependence on load cycling

Heat transfer between contacting surfaces is an important factor in the thermal behaviour of engineering components in turbomachinery and various other areas of technology. Thermal contact conductance (TCC) is a parameter that quantifies this heat flow. Any theoretical prediction of TCC should take into account the effects, if any, introduced by repeated loading and unloading. This study aims t...
